The new LG C6 and G6 OLED TVs get prices, and it's good news — even the new brighter C6 models aren't more expensive

  • Most prices are unchanged and one model is cheaper than last year
  • LG's latest Alpha 11 Gen 3 processor is in the C6 as well as the G6
  • The two biggest C6s get the same display as the G6

LG has good news for you if you're lusting after the new LG OLED G6 and LG OLED C6 TVs: the prices aren't going up this year, and one price has actually gone down.

US pre-orders are open now, with prices starting at $1,399 for the 42-inch LG C6 and $2,499 for the 55-inch LG G6. That's the same pricing that we saw for the same-sized LG C5 and LG G5 last year.

That's not all. The 83-inch C5 is $100 cheaper than last year's model, all of the C6 models are getting the same processor as the G6, and the 77- and 83-inch C6 TVs are getting the same panel as the G6 with what LG calls Hyper Radiant Color Technology, which is on every G6 model apart from the 97-inch one (more on that later).

LG C6 and LG G6: key features and pricing

Both ranges are powered by the Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen 3, run webOS 26 and feature 165Hz gaming with NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium and a 0.1ms response time.

They support Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and on the G6, Filmmaker Mode with ambient light compensation. LG says that the G6 is its brightest OLED ever: up to 3.9x brighter than "a regular OLED TV", by which it usually means its own B-series models.

The LG C6 is available in six sizes: 42, 48, 55, 65, 66 and 83 inches. The LG G6 comes in five: 55, 65, 77, 83 and 97 inches.

The 97-inch G6 uses a different panel to all the others — it's a much older panel that's far less bright, and hasn't really been updated in years, because not a lot of 97-inch OLEDs get sold compared to the other sizes. However, the new-gen processor will still improve the picture quality – we talk a little about how in our first look at the LG G6.

All of these models are available to pre-order from LG now and will reach retailers imminently. The prices are:
